It's coming to the time of year when flu vaccinations are important to avoid the risk of catching the virus.

Every winter, the risk of catching a cold or the flu increases as we all stay indoors to keep warm.

Concerns have also arisen with an outbreak in Australia which has seen cases of influenza double on last year.

Last month, it was reported there had been 170,00 cases of the flu, double that of 2016, and more than 70 deaths related to the illness, which affected those over the age of 80 and children aged 5-9 the most.
